In a best specific embodiments, its arm is the diblock arm with block in outer block of conjugated diolefine and the mono alkenyl arene, so its arm is by the polymerized conjugated diene block, and then polymerization mono alkenyl arene block forms.Arm is in the terminal coupling of mono alkenyl arene block then.
This preferential method of selecting is particularly used in the combination of common strand alkenyl arene, can obtain being processed into the polymkeric substance of chip.Can be processed into the polymkeric substance of chip, be very convenient manipulation, with mucous situation different fully.
Living polymer forms in the inert liq solvent.The solvent that is fit to comprises that hydro carbons is (as pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, α-ethyl hexane, nonane, heptane, hexanaphthene; Methylcyclohexane); Aromatic hydrocarbon (for example benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, various dimethylbenzene, various diethylbenzene, various propylbenzene) and hydrocarbon mixture (for example lubricating oil), what preferentially select is hexanaphthene.
The temperature that polyreaction is carried out can change in the scope of broad, for example from-50 ℃ to 150 ℃, preferably from 20 ℃ to 80 ℃.Reaction is preferably carried out in inert atmosphere as carrying out in nitrogen, and carries out under the pressure of for example 50-1000kpa(0.5 to 10 crust.
The used initiator concentration of preparation living polymer also can change in the relative broad range, is decided by the molecular weight of needed living polymer.
The weight average molecular weight range of the living polymer of reactions steps (a) preparation is 3,000-15,000, preferably 5,000-12,000.The shear stability of the arm of higher molecular weight is not enough, and the arm of lower molecular weight is not as adding excessive polymkeric substance, and the star polymer that obtains can not change the gear oil viscosity.
The resulting living polymer of reactions steps (a) reacts with a polyalkenyl coupling agent in reactions steps (b) then.The polyalkenyl coupling agent that can form star polymer is, for example, United States Patent (USP) 3,9185,830, Canadian Patent 75d, 645 and English Patent 1,025,295 in known coupling agent.They normally have the compound of at least two unconjugated alkenyls.This group often is connected on the electron-withdrawing group identical or inequality (for example aromatic proton).This compound has such character: at least two alkenyls can with different living polymer independent reactions, this respect is that to be different from common polymerization of conjugated dienes monomeric, as divinyl, isoprene etc.This compound can be aliphatics, aromatic series or heterogeneous ring compound.The example of fatty compounds comprises polyvinyl and polyene propylacetylene, diacetylene, phosphoric acid ester, phosphorous acid ester and dimethacrylate (for example EDMA ethylene dimethacrylate).The example of the heterogeneous ring compound that is fit to comprises divinyl pyridine and divinyl thiophene.The preferential coupling agent of selecting is the polyalkenyl aromatics, and what override was selected is many vinyl aromatic compounds.The example of this compound comprises those compounds as benzene,toluene,xylene, anthracene, naphthalene and durene, and they have at least two alkenyls to replace, and preferably directly are attached thereto.Its example comprise many vinyl benzenes (for example divinyl, trivinyl and tetrem alkenyl benzene), divinyl, trivinyl and tetrem thiazolinyl neighbour-,-right-dimethylbenzene, divinyl naphthalene, divinyl ethylbenzene, divinyl biphenyl, diisobutylene base benzene, di isopropenylbenzene and diisopropenyl biphenyl.The preferential aromatics of selecting is with formula A-(CH=CH 2) x represents it, wherein A selects the aromatic proton that replaces arbitrarily, and x is at least 2 integer.Vinylstyrene, particularly between Vinylstyrene be the aromatics that override is selected.Can use pure or commercially pure Vinylstyrene (other monomers that contain different amounts, for example vinylbenzene and ethyl styrene), coupling agent can mix use with the adding monomer (as vinylbenzene or ring-alkylated styrenes) that increases the size of nuclear in a small amount.In the case, endorse poly-to be stated as (two alkenyls coupling agent/mono-alkenyl aromatic substance) nuclear, for example poly-(Vinylstyrene/mono-alkenyl aromatic substance) nuclear.
The polyalkenyl coupling agent should add after monomer polymerization is finished basically in the living polymer of reactions steps (a), and promptly coupling agent can only add after all monomers are transformed into living polymer basically.
The amount that adds the polyalkenyl coupling agent can change in very wide limit, but best at least 0.5 mole of every mole of living polymer is preferentially selected the 1-15 mole, and override is selected the 1.5-5 mole.This amount (can be divided into secondary or repeatedly add) make usually at least 80% or 85%(weight) living polymer be transformed into star formula polymkeric substance.
Reactions steps (b) can be carried out in the used same solvent of step (a).The solvent that is fit to as mentioned above.The temperature of reactions steps (b) also can change in the limit of broad, as 0 ℃-150 ℃, and preferably 20 ℃-120 ℃.Reaction also can be carried out under rare gas element such as nitrogen and pressure.Used pressure is preferably the 50-1000KPa(0.5-10 crust).
The feature of the prepared star polymer of reactions steps (b) is to have crosslinked poly-(polyalkenyl coupling agent) intensive center or nuclear and many arms that is actually linear unsaturated polymer to stretch out from it.The number of arm can be very inequality, but typically in the scope of 4-25, preferentially select 7-15.
The applicant finds, the number that increases the arm adopted has improved the thickening efficiency and the shear stability of polymkeric substance widely, has high relatively molecular weight (increase thickening efficiency) and do not need the gear oil VI improving agent of long arm (shear stability can be accepted) thereby can prepare.
Remain the star polymer of " activity ", after this can use currently known methods deactivation or " stopping active ", its method is to add the compound that reacts with the positively charged ion end group.The example of the deactivators that is fit to that can address is the compound that one or more reactive hydrogen atoms are arranged, as water, alcohol (methyl alcohol, ethanol, Virahol, 2-Ethylhexyl Alcohol) or carboxylic acid (for example acetate), compound (the compound that active chlorine atom is for example arranged that an active halogen atom is arranged, as zephiran chloride, methyl chloride) if, have the compound of an ester group and carbonic acid gas can not deactivate with this method, active star polymer can stop activity with step of hydrogenation (c).
Stopping before the activity, active star polymer can with the monomer reaction of other amount, diene identical as discussed above or inequality and/or mono-alkenyl aromatic substance type.The effect of the step of this increase except the number that increases polymer chain, has produced and has had more the active star polymer that has two dissimilar polymeric chains at least.For example, can be further and the isoprene monomer reaction derived from the active star polymer of active polyisoprene, produce the active star polymer that has more of polyisoprene chain that different weight-average molecular weight are arranged.In addition, active star polyisoprene homopolymer can react with styrene monomer, produces to have more active radial copolymer with polyisoprene and polystyrene homopolymer chain.Therefore as seen, different polymer chain meanings are the chain of different weight-average molecular weight and/or the chain of different structure.The weight-average molecular weight of additional arm must be in above-mentioned limited range.These further polymerizations can be carried out under the condition substantially the same with present method reactions steps (a).
In step (c), star polymer is with any suitable technology hydrogenant.What be fit to is to have at least 80%, and the former alkene degree of unsaturation of preferential selection at least 90%, override selection at least 95% is hydrogenated.If the star polymer part is derived from the mono alkenyl arene compound, the amount of hydrogenant aromatics degree of unsaturation (if existence) will depend on used hydrogenation conditions so.But, preferably be lower than 10%, be more preferably and be lower than 5% this aromatics degree of unsaturation and be hydrogenated.If poly-(polyalkenyl coupling agent) nuclear is one poly-(polyalkenyl aromatics coupling agent) nuclear, He aromatics degree of unsaturation may maybe can not be hydrogenated so, and this also is decided by used hydrogenation conditions.The weight-average molecular weight of hydrogenant star polymer is corresponding to the weight-average molecular weight of unhydrided star polymer.
The preferential hydride process of selecting is a U.S. Patent No. 3,595, the selective hydration method described in 942.The hydrogenation of this method is preferably carried out in the same solvent of preparation polymkeric substance, uses to comprise aluminum alkyls and nickel carboxylate or cobalt, or the catalyzer of the reaction product of alkanol nickel or cobalt.Good catalyzer is the reaction product that three second aluminium and nickel octoate form.
The hydrogenant star polymer reclaims in hydrogenation solvent with solid form, uses any technology easily, as evaporating solvent etc.In addition, oil (for example gear oil) can be added solution, desolventize from the mixture steaming that forms, to produce enriched material.Even surpass 10%(weight when the amount of wherein hydrogenant star polymer) time, also can obtain the easy to handle enriched material.The enriched material that is fit to contains 10-60%(weight) the hydrogenation star polymer, with the enriched material total weight.
Except the hydrogenant star polymer, the gear oil composition of shear stable of the present invention can comprise that one or more art technology experts know other additives of knowing, as antioxidant, and pour point reducer, dyestuff, sanitising agent etc.The gear oil additive that contains p and s is general additive commonly used.
Because shearing stress much strict than in the car engine in the application of gear oil, using the low-molecular weight polymer higher than high-molecular weight polymer shear stability is main for can look to resting on this multiviscosisty gear oil prescription after long-time the use.Can be in the prior art currently known methods of divergent function and/or clean function endowing viscosity index improver being incorporated into gear oil viscosity index improver of the present invention, such method comprises as U.S. Patent No. 4, disclosed metalation and the functionalization effect that contains the nitrogen of functional group in 145,298.
